This invention relates to a sprin mattress and has for its object to provi e, in a manner as hereinafter referred to an article of such class so constructed and arranged to provide for double resiliency when used.

A further Vobject of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, an article of the class referred to including spaced, opposed resilient sections 1 each consisting of a web of metallic fabric formed from woven spiral wires and cushioning sections of fibrous material extended lengthwise of, bearing against the outer faces of and interengaging with the woven wire sections whereby the cushioning sections are prevented from shifting relative to said other sections.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, an article of the class referred to including a pair of s aced opposed resilient sections each in the orm of a web of woven spiral wires, a spring assembly consisting of rows of connected together double conc springs interposed between said sections, certain of said springs being coupled to said sections, coiledresilient border elements for the spring assembly, and coupling means between the border elements and sprlngs and between the border elements and said sections thereby possessing double resiliency whenused.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, an article of the class referred to including a spring structure possessing double resiliency, and cushioning means encompassing said structure and normally maintained by the latter in extended position.

A further object of the invention isy to provide, ina mann'e' as hereinafter set forth, an article of the class referred to formed with a spring structure providing for double resiliency and including metallic 5 webs separated by double cone springs, a.

fabric casing having opposed walls interposed between said webs and ends of the springs and other walls opposing and arranged outwardly with respect to the body of the springs, and cushioning means opposing the top and bottom of said structure and the sides of casing.

Further objects of the invention are to rovlde, in a manner as hereinafter set orth, a composite mattress which is comparatively simple in its construction, strong, durable, compact, possessing double resiliency, insuring comfort when in use, thoroughly efficient for the purpose intended, readily set up and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

To the above ends essentially, and to others which may hereinafter' appear, the invention consists of such parts, and such combination of parts which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view, broken away, of a mattress in accordance with this invention.

`Figure 2 is a sectional plan.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3 Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary view in sectional side elevation.

Figure 5 is a fra mentary view in plan.

The mattress inc udes a core formed of opposed rows of a series of double cone vertically disposed springs. The cones of each slpring are oppostely disposed and with t e base of a cone at an end of the spring. The springs of one row are arranged in alignment with the s rings of the adjacent rows. The core is of) rectangular contour. The springs of each row are designated 1. 'Ihe springs are arranged to provide longitudinal rows 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. It is to be understood that the number of rows of springs can be as desired, and that the number of springs contained in a row can be as desired. The number of rows is illustrated by way of example. The inner sides of the springs of the outer rows are tied to the sides of springs of adjacent rows by superposed coiled tie members 8 each of a length to extend from one end spring of a row to the other end spring of the row. The springs at one end of the rows are coupled together at their ends by superposed coiled end border members 9. The s rings at the other end of the rows are lcoup ed together by superposed coiled end border members 10. The outer side of the springs of one outer row are coupled together by superposed coiled side border members 11. The outer side of the springs of the other outer row are coupled together by su rposed coiled side border members 12. he members 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are resllient.

The mattress further includes a pair of opposed, spaced parallel resilient sections 13, 14 corres ondlng in contour to that of the core. T e sections 13, 14 are of like form and each consists of a web of metallic fabric formed from woven spiral wires. The sections 13, 14 oppose respectively the top and bottom of the core. Couplin members 15 are employed for connecting t e side,

and end edges of the resilient sections to the border members 9, 10, 11 and 12. Certain of the members 15 couple springs of the rows 2 and 7 with the sides of the sections 13, 14.

The core is encased by an inner fabric casing 16 preferably of burlap. The top and bottom walls 17, 18 of the casing being interposed between sections 13, 14 and the top and bottom of the core. The casing ex- Y tends around the border members. The

coupling members extend through the body of the casing. The side and end walls of the casing extend into the sides and end of the core.

The sections 13, 14 and casing are encompassed by a cushioning body 19 of fabric preferably heavy layers of felted cotton, the inner of which extends into the interstices of the sections 13, 14 to prevent said body shifting relative to said sections. The body 19 bears against the side and end walls of the inner casing 16. The body 19 may be of any desired thickness and is of pad like form.

The body 19 is completely enclosed by a closed outer casing 20 of any suitable fabric which is coupled with body 19 by spaced rows 21, 22 of inclined stitching positloned adjacent the corners of casing 20 and providing the marginal portions of the top and bottom of the mattress in the form of ribs 23, 24 respectively.

The interengaging of the cushioning body 19 in the interstices of the sections 13, 14 prevents the shifting and bunching of body 19 and eliminates entirely or to a reat extent, the requiring of the usual tu ing to anchor body 19 in position.

lVhen the mattress is completed that part of the outer face of its top between the end portions of the top rib is of convex curvature in cross section, and that part of the outer face of its bottom between the end portions of the bottom rib is of concave curvature in cross section. The mattress Vwhen completed provides for double resiliency due to the constructive arrangement of the core and the form of the pair of resilient sections.

1. A mattress comprising, a core formed of rows of doubled coned spiral springs tied to ether by coiled resilient tie members and coiled resilient border members coupled to said springs, resilient sections at the top and bottom of the core and each consisting of a web of metallic fabric formed from woven spiral wire, a casing encompassing said core and having its top and bottom walls interposed between said sections and the core, spaced coupling members connecting said sections to said border members and to certain of said springs, a cushioning body of fibrous material seated a ainst and extending into the interstices o said sections and seated against the side and end walls of said casing, and a closed casing encompassing said body.
